On the move

On the Move (OTM) is a cultural mobility information network with more than 35 members in over 20 countries across Europe and beyond. Our mission is to encourage and facilitate cross-border mobility and cooperation, contributing to building up a vibrant and shared European cultural space that is strongly connected worldwide. It aims:

1. To organise, coordinate and improve a cultural mobility information service that is free, transparent, accurate and user friendly, coming from an increasing number of sources and reaching an ever widening audience.
2. To promote a concept of mobility that is respectful of social standards and environmental protection and that promotes cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue.
3. To improve the capacity of OTM members to deal with various aspects of cultural mobility, through trainings, P2P sessions and meetings, where the expertise of each of the members can be shared and further enriched.

A great resource developed by On the Move is the Mobility Funding guides:

Securing funding to finance international travels is a big challenge. On the Move cannot provide you with tailor-made solutions (please see the editorial policy and disclaimer), but they signpost you to organisations and funds which can be useful for your upcoming mobility experiences!

The Funding section provides you with information and tips on how and where to find funding for your mobility as an artist, a cultural professional and/or a cultural organisation.
